Late Monday night, the Phillies signed Cliff Lee to a five-year deal, shocking the baseball world. And while we have to wait until April to see how this move works out for Philadelphia (spoiler: it's probably a pretty good move), we can already see its effect in Las Vegas.
According to Bodog, the Phillies are now 7/2 favorites to win the 2011 World Series, followed closely by the Boston Red Sox, the offseason's other big winner, at 5/1.
Odds to win 2011 World Series:
- Phillies 7/2
- Red Sox 5/1
- Yankees 6/1
- Giants 12/1
- Cardinals 18/1
- Twins 18/1
- Braves 20/1
- Reds 20/1
- Rockies 20/1
- Rays 20/1
- Rangers 20/1
The worst odds, forever and always, belong to the Pittsburgh Pirates, at 150/1.
Additionally, Bodog has set the O/U on number of wins in 2011 for the Phillies at 96. The Phillies have won more than 96 games just four times in their franchise's 128-year history, including 2010, when they went 97-65.
